I've had a similar experience with car insurance. Home insurance, though, my rates went up ~40% two years in a row. Switched companies and pay less than half of the inflated rates.

That's quite a leap from banning Nazi symbolism in usernames to an authoritarian regime.

That's a UBI, not Social Security. It's a great idea! But it's not Social Security.

With Social Security, the amount you get out is directly related to the amount you pay in. So if the cap is increased, yes, social security will get more income, but they'll also need to start paying out a whole ton more.

It's more of a forced savings/investment account than a wealth redistribution scheme. There is some redistribution happening, but not as much as most people think.

Continuous innovation is what the subscription is supposed to be for, at least that was the argument when switching away from one time purchase software. Microslop has not been holding up that end of the deal, Outlook/Office is outdated garbage, and is now charging extra for it.

Advertised? I'd vote no. Discussed? I'm all for it.

Democrats are far from perfect, but the gulf between Democrats and Republicans is immense and the false "both sides" rhetoric is tiring and a big reason why we're in this mess.

Do you think we'd have war in Iran, no USAID, and dismantled regulatory agencies if Kamala had won the last election? There is a choice.

 

ABC claims Kimmel was canceled over comments he made about Kirk. The evidence says otherwise.

Starts at 2 minutes. This is the monologue referenced by the Deadline article on his cancelation.

PieFed allows you to specity CSS in your settings so you can make it look however you like. What CSS do you use to improve your experience?

I whipped up some today to make the PWA better (for me) on mobile. It moves the post and comment action buttons to the right side, where your hand is (sorry lefties), puts the title below the preview for image/video posts, and makes previews full-width on mobile. Pretty minor, but it makes a big impact to me.

.post_utilities_bar .pull-right,  
.comment_actions .pull-right {  
  margin: 0;  
}  

.post_utilities_bar .voting_buttons_new,  
.comment_actions .voting_buttons_new {  
  order: -1;  
}  

.post_utilities_bar,  
.comment .comment_actions  {  
  justify-content: right !important;  
  flex-direction: row-reverse;  
}  

@media only screen and (max-width:990px) {  
  .post_teaser_image_preview,  
  .post_teaser_video_preview {  
    position: relative;  
    right: 13px;  
    width: 100vw;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_image_preview a,  
  .post_teaser_video_preview div {  
    border: none;  
    border-radius: 0;  
    max-width: 100vw;  
    max-height: 100vh;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_video_preview p {  
    margin-bottom: 0;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_body:has(.post_teaser_image_preview, .post_teaser_video_preview) {  
    display: flex;  
    flex-direction: column;  
  }  

  .post_teaser_body .post_teaser_image_preview,  
  .post_teaser_body .post_teaser_video_preview {  
    order: -1;  
  }  
}

Sidenote, I think the css feature might be doing some xml encoding or something because > doesn't seem to work in selectors. I didn't mess around enough to prove that definitively.
